What I have been doing lately is to first rough out the panel in pencil.
Once I get it the way I want it, I go over the final with pen and then do a cleanup with eraser to take most of the pencil marks off.
Next I scan the image in as Black and White and do second cleanup using JASC Paint Shop Pro. I then increase the color depth and add the color.
I also use Paint Shop Pro on my photoshop jobs. Some people use GIMP as their photo editor since it's free, but I have a copy of Paint Shop and I am used to it so I have stuck with it.
Pain Shop also allow a free trial so that was what got me hooked in the first place.
Keep churning out your stuff. I have been busting a gut on your panels.
Have you ever seen Monty Python's Meaning of Life? There's a part with a hugely obese (1000+ pound) man who eats everything in the restaurant, and finally the waiter brings him a wafer. The man refuses, and says "I couldn't eat another bite" but the waiter persists. "It's only a wafer" he says.
So the man eats it and explodes, guts everywhere.
I watched that when I was 8. Around the time I took my first communion.
I will stop the story here, because I don't want to go and remind God what I said to the priest. I think maybe He's forgotten by now.

Looks great. What are you using? Is that paint? I've been thinking about adding color.
Sounds like something my kid would do!
